Imagine waking up to find the most advanced AI tool, ChatGPT Plus, available for free not just to a few, but to every citizen in your country. Sounds futuristic, right? But that’s exactly what the United Arab Emirates has done. In a groundbreaking partnership with OpenAI, UAE will offer ChatGPT Plus to all its citizens at no cost. No monthly $20 subscription, no limits  just free, unrestricted access.

This isn’t just a tech headline; it’s a major shift in how nations think about artificial intelligence. The UAE isn’t giving its people a chatbot it’s handing them a powerful tool that can transform the way students learn, doctors diagnose, and small businesses operate.

The plan is backed by Stargate UAE, a massive AI data center coming up in Abu Dhabi. With big names like Nvidia, Oracle, and Cisco involved, this isn’t a PR stunt  it’s a serious push to become a global AI hub. And yes, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman himself has called this a model for other nations.

Meanwhile, countries like India  where ChatGPT already has millions of users  are watching closely. Could we see a similar AI inclusion strategy here? If AI is truly the future, then shouldn’t everyone have access to it?

At Newsest, we believe this story is just the beginning. If AI is the next electricity, then UAE might just be building the first power grid for all.

So, what do you think? Should India or other countries follow UAE’s bold move? Drop your thoughts in the comments  because the future is already knocking.
